Sabbath Traffic

Shabot traffic, or lack there of. On friday afternoon stores start to close and don't reopen until Sunday. Saturday, is truly the day of rest in this city. Religous people make all their food on friday so they don't have to work on Saturday. Some people drive on Shabbot, but in Jerusalem the city really shuts down. The picture below is of a usually busy highway with zero cars on it in the middle of the day(Saturday). When was the last time their were no cars on 580 or Shattuck Ave? This would be a good day for some street festival or marothon...

In honor of this day of rest I took an afternoon nap, something I don't often do but enjoyed.
